I would like to start a petition for Sony to release the latest sources for Xperia PLAY to the community. I am disappointed by the news but I completely understand and agree. The gamepad is the major reason for this phone and by developers not updating their games to ICS caused all sorts of stability issues.
So I figure for now lets see if we can get the sources and let the XDA devs have a grand old time picking it apart and seeing what awesome goodness they can do with it!
ICS is nice eye candy and I for one found better results on GB then ICS, probably becuase I am on CDMA. But still I would love for everyone to have the option of using some custom ROMs sourced from the latest sources. Everyone who is game (pun) please sign below if you agree. And PLEASE DO NOT COMPLAIN ON THIS THREAD. This thread is about looking positive, moving on and hoping for the best. This phone is still awesome an I still absolutely love my device.
Also there is a poll, choose whether or not you want the sources.
So again.................
*****PLEASE DO NOT COMPLAIN ON THIS THREAD*****
***Just noticed right before i finished this post there was another post for a petition, did not mean to make a double post, but this post also has a POLL. Everyone please use the POLL in addition to signing below. Thank you****
As SuperNoodles2011 has made a poll on the Official Sony Forum. (Thank you SuperNoodles2011)
talk.sonymobile.com/thread/38157?tstart=0
ANY POST THAT IS NEGATIVE TOWARDS SONY WILL BE DELETED AND YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED BY A MOD, THIS THREAD IS FOR ASKING SONY TO RELEASE THE SOURCES IN A POSITIVE WAY, NEGATIVE COMMENTS WILL NOT MOTIVATE SONY TO WANT TO HELP
Sony, thank you for your efforts with ICS for our phone. I would like to respectfully request though that the latest ICS sources be released to the Android community to let those who choose to conitnue with, that they may do so.
And if possible, allow us to help you find a solution to improve overall user experience, and push for a later ICS release.
i made a thread about this already but its np but inside my post is a link to a request on the official sony forums so feel free to take the link from that and post it in this thread and also write on that post saying you want it

Thank you....
sony please release the sources for the community here
if sources would be released i am sure that developers could release a better Rom then sony themself since sony puts so much BS on their Stock rom that not nessacry
IMO If we won't get the official update, I think Sony must give us a chance between stay in the latest official Gingerbread rom or install an official custom ICS rom under our own risk.
I want them to release the sources too! I understand their decision but at least they should give us their latest sources
I understand Sony's decision and thank them for giving us a Beta to test ICS on our devices. But I would love to see what xda-developers could do with our phone having the latest source code.
SONY: If you want to give up then it's fine, Just give us the latest sources as I hope there was some progress made after the beta was released. We have some great Devs that can do a lot with whatever has been done so far. As you may know this is a major disappointment to the Xperia play owners so at least give us a shot. It's really not too much to ask.

SONY: If you want to give up then be my guest Just give us the latest sources unless you stopped development sometime back around your early release of the beta in which point keep them to yourselve as Ive already lost enough respect for your treatment of the paying customer. Hey, I didnt complain.lmao.

in theory they MUST have some newer ROM for possible bug fixes they have tryed so lets hope we get it
the only reason sony gave us the beta was to confirm what they already thought: ICS on the PLAY is too much effort.
Give us the source code (especially for the touchpads). Open source means open source
i found this rather interesting this post
http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/197288#197288
States that not only will ALL 2011 xperia phones get ICS but they "PROMISE" we will get it
so as they cant promise us a working ICS lets hope we get the latest Rom source

my point exactly ... i dont care about the gaming aspect of my phone anymore i hardly use it for that.. and i cant afford a new phone with the same kind or performance or even better :/ i hope they honor there customers i really do
Meanwhile if everyone could use the link in the first post to make your views on it and help show sony we need the ROMS brought here id appreciate it ALOT
I also would like Sony to release the sources for their ICS implementation, assuming they'll refuse to release an official ROM. But I'm not holding my breath. Sony isn't exactly the most open company out there (when Ericsson's share was bought out, I immediately knew I made a mistake having bought this phone).
Well, live and learn [and don't buy Sony].

in theory they MUST have some newer ROM somewhere otherwise that just proves that they didnt even TRY to update the phone or fix any of the bugs... so they cant say no we dont have it otherwise they prove they are liars so we better see something soon...

As we all know, the Xperia Z1 and Z Ultra are "almost" the same when it comes to hardware and therefore roms; in an effort to promote more cross platform development (eg. Porting Z1 roms to Z Ultra) could a Dev please outline ALL differences between the two devices? (specifically, which libs/apks etc must be replaced for a rom to be ported)
For example, I would love to try out some of the Z1 roms and have "cooked" (@dsixda kitchen) 2 or 3 of them but only have about a 20% success rate with booting.
I think I've got build.prop changes and updater/update script changes all under control, as would most who would be using this info - so I think a list of "what to change over from Z1 version ZU version" may be a good place to start
Thanks in advance and hope this is a useful thread for others too.
(Moderators; apologies and please move if posted in wrong area - I understand posts here should be for multiple device projects, but I didn't feel this thread was relevant in either single device forum & would be more at home here)

As there are so many different (and not so different) ROMs available for our Xperia Z (C6603), it becomes somehow difficult to find the best (in terms of smoothness and features) ROM for daily use. I know there are already plenty of threads comparing general features of different major ROMs. However, these might appear to be very general and totally not device related, especially for new comers. That is way I would like to start and maintain this thread.
In this thread I would like you to post you current rom and rate it on a scale from 1 (for very poor) to 10 (for f*cking hilarious). I would appreciate if you'd post your ratings each time you flash a new rom. :angel:
Please indicate following infos:
ROM NAME
(eventually) ROM base (e.g. AOSP, CM, etc)
ROM Version (e.g. 28062014 Nightly, 3.1, etc.)
Android Version
And your actual ratings for:
Features (that are implemented in other devices but not yet in ours)
Current available features
Overall smotheness
Overall satisfaction
How likely are going to advice your friends to install this rom (from 1 - not likely to 10 - very likely)
If you have already submitted your ratings on one of the previous posts in this thread, just create a new post and indicate your previous post number. Thus, I can adjust the rating in an appropriate way (Basically, your previous rom will receive bonus points if it was rated better than your new rom and I will deduct some points for the rom being rated worse than the new one).
Further information on rating calculation will come as soon as your first ratings get processed.
Any feedback and critics are welcome and very anticipated!!!
Hopefully will soon get enough responses to evaluate all available roms and help us to quickly find a 'new' for the daily use.:good::good::good:

Hello guys, here is my thread for my video tutorials and reviews (all about z3). Im planning to post many video reviews (rom reviews, themes etc..) and video tutorials (how to root z3, install some mods/roms/recovery/etc/etc....) Everything that i will post here will help community! So first im starting with unboxing and hands on of Z3:
CLICK FOR VIDEO
Review:
COMING SOON
Tutorials and videos:
Get Root and Recovery on Android L/5.0.2
GET XPOSED ON ADNROID L
GET ROOT AND RECOVERY - WITHOUT DOWNGRADING TO KITKAT
Let me know if you need some help or if you want review of your ROM/MOD/APP and things like that.
Mods, please stay patient i will add a lot here .
UPDATE:
Get Root and Recovery on Android L/5.0.2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCol59PY04o
Here is one bump, why? Im really hard working on my videos, but as i can see there is not much people that saw my videos about z3? I just want to know are they that bad or what? Since xperia sp i had much much more views on videos, i didnt expected just 300 views for 2 days, really. Is xperia z3 that unpopular?
Not really, just that the phone has been out for a long time now and there have been plenty of reviews made already. If you search the general section back a few months you will find them.
also, there are plenty of guides on how to root, so these videos are not really up to date news.....

This one: https://mega.co.nz/#!nAJxQTZK!2SkZ75bbmWgKUl7dru2InWiJR4OsRdpukLhhEXheSmM
It is stock .690 but i can see it it little bit faster than the stock i had previously, i have about 45k score in antutu on this stock
So guys, i dont know, i dont have any idea about what video should i make next...? Any idea over there ? Some Rom, Mod review, i dont know really. I was usually recording some rom reviews when i had my lg g2 ( xperia z3 is offcourse better but there is no bunch of roms and mods for it, thats because it is best sonys phone i think so and it doesnt need much improvments like some phones need) but now i dont have any idea, i also have ps4 but not planning to post any gameplays. Maybe some gameplay via remote play, do you think someone will watch it?Some tutorial? Im really confused and without any idea what to do next.
Hey KiaTheKing, personally I feel you must make videos of Mods/Roms - Custom & Stock/Rooting and so on. It would really help people who are a little slow to learn all this great stuff. Now many people are craving for the xposed framework for example but aren't sure how to get it working which has been patched in the Android development forum. That may help many plus may give you many views. Thanks for starting this thread.

INTRODUCTIONDo you want a rom which will be more stable, faster with better battery life than a stock?
You don't believe it's possible?
I proved otherwise.
First of all, if you are not familiar with my work, then you should check this thread.
MAIN IDEASince a Concept ROM was leaked , I saw a great potential in it.
It's clean ,stable and very fast.
But unfortunately I don't own Z3, so I decided to port it to my Z Ultra.
I did it, but it wasn't enough, so I started to make it better.
But why only Z Ultra users should enjoy it,right?
If I ported it to Z Ultra , I think it can be ported to other Xperia Devices, but I can't do it in my own, that's why I am building a TEAM.
WHY DO YOU WANT IT?
If you like custom roms, but the only one you see are CM based with same bugs.
Stock ROM is not fast enough for you.
You want some crazy themes, which can make your UI really dark, which is not possible in stock.
You want to keep some OEM apps and at the same time, you want a clean android.
You want to be a part of project, which will bring Sony Development to the new level.
HOW I SEE IT IN THE FUTURE?My primary goal is to bring this project for as many Xperia devices as possible.
We will make rom more interesting by: adding futures from CM roms, making our own themes, which can completely change the look of UI, Ideally we can make an app, like layers, but it will be part of the rom and more...
Theoretically it's possible to make an LB version in the future. At least for ZU and Z3.
WHAT I CAN DO?
I have experience in following fields:
Porting ROM and APPS
Kernel development
Working with smali codes
Some programming skills, which are developing.
WHO DO I NEED?
Developers (Roms, kernels)
Designers and theme makers ( logos, themes)
Testers (who are willing to do experiments and don't afraid to that)
Someone good with Smali coding
BASIC REQUIREMENTS:
Good English skills
Be nice and friendly
What'sApp messenger
Ability to work in a team
FOR FUTURE USERS:You can speed up process by making a donation. All the money will be used for buying new devices.
I WANT TO JOIN!Click me.

Nice idea RXS bro @Uncle Lucifer
But you know we RXS MoonBreakers are already in ^^
Cheers from me the CEO [The 1st Leader] of RXS
Time to revolution the Sony Xperia Development.
I can be a tester for Xperia Z2 but if you teach me I can make all the possible development because I love this, I love XDA and what this awesome people make for all!
I confess, I would love the opportunity to learn to make development, ROMs and kernels, if you give me the chance I will be eternally grateful and indebted to XDA to give them a little more love this great world called Android.
I would be able to test your rom for the Z5 Premium dual sim model. Let me know if you need help with testing for this model
@Uncle Lucifer I have made a similar rom for xperia u but the biggest question for me is to what point should the rom represent stock features, I mean what to be included and what not from home,dialer,media apps,media apps,small apps etc....
I'd be happy to test on z3 with locked bl

@Uncle Lucifer great concept buddy!! I was already searching for something like this. I can help u in rom development and will agree to test for Xperia Z1... Cant wait to start the project!!

Ready to join!
Thank you for showing interest in project.
The main goal right now is to assemble a team, then we gonna start to make a plans for future.
I will create group as soon as will have more people and look at all of your applications, but please if it's not hard than write in which part of developing are most interested: kernels, porting, testing, design and etc.
I can test it for Xperia Z1.
Tester for the most notorious Z3+ xD
Im Happy to be a Tester for Xperia ZL, New in android Development, having a hard time in flashing my deodex app that was deodex in joeldroid batch deodex, since i dont know the right update script. Learned from tutorials, that why i build my own rom, which is more from customize the UI rather than the additional functions. But willing to become a tester mostly for ported apps since Lp was the last update for us
Your project is very ambitious, I already like it.
I hope that it will go far !
If you need tester for Z3 Compact, I would be happy to help you !
I haven't a lot of skill in developpement, but I can tinker some software stuff.
If I am not taken, I hope that you will make for us some good roms! =)
I would like to join you too, I can become a tester and grow up time by time to be other roles.
Finally!
I am also a glorius user of my z3 and would like to help.
I have small experiences at building/porting kernels and roms,
and my z3 is ready to test everything.
Hope this will bring future to our superb sony phones.
greetings^^
I'm interested in testing; I have the Xperia Z, and just like most users of this phone, I'm looking forward to new ideas.

Many Z3 users here ^^
I the CEO of RXS have also a Z3 (June not anymore, probarly Xperia X or Xperia X Performance)
We have a lot of testers, but need more devs.
Testers are welcome.
And guys, don't worry.
I am planning to do both LP and MM versions.
So if you didn't officialy receive MM, you still gonna have ROM.
Some info about concept base:
Even LP version, is more like MM than any LP rom.
So, there is no big difference between LP an MM versions.
And that's good for those who have old phones, like me. Nothing to jealous about.
I will make porting easy as possible.
Those who want to add support for their device need to find a more or less stable base. AOSP. I will make the convertable package, and also kernel is required. We can try to use my sources, by adding new defconfigs. Or experiment with existing ones.
So, in theory to start porting to new devices, we need:
Find base rom
Flash my package.
Make it boot
Then adjust it by replacing hardware libs, from stock roms and others.
It's possible.
And when we will have more devices, we gonna add stuff. And that stuff will be universal, so we can work together on it.
I already did advanced power menu, themes support and multi DPI.
